The Thistle villas she Yacht Race
Yesterday.

LONDON, June GA brisk bretze
was blowing this morning when the
Yachts started in the race at Dover
Round, q course forty-four miles long.
The Thistle led directly. She turned
the pier within her own length, and
was q quarter OF a mile ahead OF the
other yachts at the end OF the two
miles. When the Thistle had covered
twenty-five miles, or half the length
OF the course, she led the Genesta by
Ave minutes and forty.two seconds.
The Irex was third, one minute be-
hind the Genesta. A thick fog has
considerably interfered with the
racers, but II is now clearing away.
The Thistle was the first to cross the
finishing line, leading the Genssta,
which was second, by eleven minutes.
The Irex was third.

Canadian Covers nm ent Censured for
Raising the DUTY ON IrOn.

LONDON, June 8.-Ths Standard this
morning reads Canada q severe les
son for increasing her duties on iron
and steel, which it says .is q tetish
policy and can only tend to sunder
the colonies from'the mother country.
"The increase was made" it says, ION
the hollow pTetense Of desire to
check the rapid increase OF trade with
the United States in our favor. We
decline the offer with tn INKS. We do
not want our trade fostered at the
expense OF our neighbors, even II 1t
could be done, but 1t cannot be done
in that way. The interest of Canada
is to foster trade with the United
States by every means in its power.
The ireer the trade is on the Cana
dian side, the larger will 1t be in spite
Of the insane tariff OF the United
Slates, and the larger the trade with
the United States, the richer will the
Canadian people become and the more
business will they do with other
countries"
